Do you struggle to lose body fat?

You may have an underlying health issue that you don’t even know exists!

Successful weight loss can seem almost impossible for millions of Americans. With so many diets, supplements and exercise programs on the market today, it can be a daunting task to find one that will work for you. Then there are the potential health issues that can make losing weight a real battle even with proper diet and exercise.

Below are the most common health problems that will prevent you from losing body fat! These health issues are rarely identified in people who are struggling to lose weight but we make it a top priority to identify the underlying health problems that prevent weight loss in our patients.

Have you been evaluated for the following?

1. Brain chemical imbalance: if your brain is not making sufficient levels of key neurotransmitters (brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine) your weight loss goals will be almost impossible to achieve, let alone maintain. Low levels of these chemicals can lead to overeating, cravings, and loss of motivation.

4. Poor Blood Sugar Control: permitting blood sugar to become too high to too low can lead to weight gain. If blood sugar is high too often you will gain weight through the action of insulin. Having low blood sugar episodes can put stress on your body leading increased cortisol levels. Many people suffer from a combination of high and low blood sugar through the day and this leads to weight gain.

5. Chronic Inflammation: for many people, there are common everyday foods that lead to low levels of chronic inflammation in the body. They are not usually aware of this inflammation but it can interfere with thyroid function, metabolism and optimum cortisol levels. If you have regular fluctuations in your weight or lose several pounds of water weight when dieting you may suffer from chronic inflammation.

6. Nutrient Deficiencies: many people struggling to lose weight are suffering from a lack of vital nutrients that are required to establish proper appetite control, metabolism and healthy weight loss. Lack of these vital nutrients leads to overeating, poor food choices and sluggish metabolism.

Many people are relying on pure willpower to eat less, partaking in unusual diets, cleanses and “metabolism boosting” supplements. These rarely lead to success in achieving your goal weight and certainly will not permit you to maintain that weight once achieved. If you are looking for a completely different approach to weight loss you have found the right place.
